On the heels of its $3.95 million Lee Roy Hartung estate sale in November, Auctions America is fast becoming an auction house of choice for collections of private and estate vehicles – a status that attracts some of the best the hobby has to offer. In addition to select motorcycles from the recently announced Michael Jordan Motorsports and Criss Angel MINDFREAK collections, Texas-based collector Tony Parella is selling his entire 35-motorcycle collection. Parella’s offerings run the gamut from an unusual lightweight, two-stroke 1959 Harley-Davidson Hummer (est. $5,000 - $7,000) to a 1933 Harley VLD (est. $55,000 to $60,000) to an exacting replica of a 1905 Harley Single (est. $100,000 - $120,000). A 1948 Indian Chief and 2008 Buell round out the Parella collection. Each example is presented in excellent condition, with many having undergone professional restorations, creating a range of exclusive ownership opportunities for savvy enthusiasts.

California’s Cary Stanley started collecting two-wheelers at the age of 13 and later founded Diamond CS Motorcycles to facilitate his buying and selling of all brands. Carefully amassed over 54 years, Stanley is bringing 80 vintage motorcycles to the multi-day Las Vegas event to pare down his current inventory of 225 bikes. Notable entries from the Cary Stanley Collection include a 1970 BSA 750cc café racer (est. $18,000 - $20,000), a replica 1965 Norton Manx café racer (est. $17,500 - $19,500) and a 1958 Triumph Trophy 500 (est. $15,500 - $17,500). All bikes in the Stanley Collection will sell with no minimum reserve.

David Karas Consultants has 35 bikes of special interest – primarily British-made – headed to Vegas, including an expertly restored 1952 Velocette 350 (est. $14,000 - $16,000) and a 1938 Royal Enfield Model G (est. $7,500 - $10,500). The highlight of the collection is a 1938 Ariel Square Four G (est. $28,000 - $35,000) – a 1,000cc four-cylinder bike that could reach 150 miles per hour when new, making it a favorite of police departments.

In addition to these three collections, the Auctions America Las Vegas Premier Motorcycle Auction will offer select motorcycles from:

“Interest in vintage and collectible motorcycles is at an all-time high,” says Donnie Gould, president of Auctions America by RM. “The fact that so many collectors trust us to represent their bikes at our Las Vegas sale tells me that Auctions America’s motorcycle division head Glenn Bator, Wayne Pitt and our other specialists have built a strong reputation in the hobby. We look forward to welcoming enthusiasts to Vegas next week for what promises to be a great sale.”

The eight collections join more than 450 collectible motorcycles expected to cross the block at Auctions America’s debut Vegas sale Jan. 12-14.
